About

Chippenham North is the ward lying immediately north of Chippenham town centre in Wiltshire. The area is largely residential, with a mix of post-war terraces and later housing estates, and several small shopping parades and community facilities serving local needs. Local primary schools, parks and sports pitches provide day-to-day amenities, while allotments on Rowden Hill give a visible link to small-scale food growing within the urban area. Street patterns and public open spaces reflect phased development across the 20th century.

Transport links tie Chippenham North into the town: local bus services run along principal roads and provide connections to the town centre and neighbouring towns, and the railway corridor lies close enough to shape some local routes. Community halls and clubs host regular events and sports fixtures, and the mix of council-owned and privately held homes gives the ward a range of household sizes and tenures. Recent planning has focused on infill and improving walking routes to shops and schools.
